Contemptible disrespect

To say the least, the interrogators of Gen. David Petraeus were rude, ill-mannered and boorish. But more important is the fact that they showed utter disrespect for an intelligent, well-spoken competent officer and gentleman, who by his military accomplishments and loyal, dedicated service to his country has earned his right to honor and respect. There is no excuse for the verbal abuse of Petraeus, and the perpetrators have brought disgrace upon themselves not only here in the U.S. but throughout the world.
The newspaper ad placed by MoveOn.org was beneath contempt and deserves the strongest of refutation and reprimand.
